Posting Through Pregnancy ft. Sirin Kale

Ten Thousand Posts

Journalist Sirin Kale returns to the show to talk about how and why content feeds change when a social media platform detects that you might be pregnant, and how weird, often dangerous content is targeted at new parents. Sirin shares her own experiences with navigating platforms while looking after a newborn, the comfort that it can provide new parents when other institutions are absent, and how to resist the abundance of online parenting content.
